broadcast anniversaries
13 December 1975: broadcast of fourth episode of The Android Invasion – last appearance of Ian Marter as Harry and John Levene as Benton. The Doctor and Sarah successfully thwart the Kraals. Hooray!
13 December 1980: broadcast of fourth episode of State of Decay. The Doctor kills the Great Vampire with a rocket through his heart and he, K9, Adric and Romana escape. Hooray!
Well, I wasn’t wanting to push the logic of his comparison too far for fear of Godwin, but if his complaint is that Britain was unable to remove Hitler at a stroke, and that this time the Poles are going to back a winner, the implication for 1939 is what? That Poland would have been better off allying with the Third Reich? It seems a very dodgy analogy politically as well as historically.
